Update: Following an apparent crackdown on folks using Xbox dev mode to emulate games, a Microsoft spokesperson has issued a statement saying there are "no plans to remove or disable" dev mode on Xbox. A bunch of Xbox users were startled earlier today when they received an email from Microsoft saying their access to Xbox dev mode was being revoked due to inactivity. Now, Xbox director of program management Jason Ronald has apparently responded to reports suggesting as much, promising Xbox dev mode is here to stay.
Ronald goes on to explain that the accounts that lost access to dev mode were deactivated "inadvertently" during a routine sweep of inactive accounts. If your account was deactivated and you'd like access restored as promptly as possible, Ronald invites you to shoot ReportApp microsoft. Curiously, the statement never directly addresses the common concern that Microsoft could indeed be cracking down on the practice of using Xbox dev mode to emulate games, sometimes from its direct competitor, PlayStation.
It's entirely possible that there were some accounts that were intentionally deactivated and others that were shuttered mistakenly. We've reached out to Microsoft for clarification and will update this article if we hear back.
